simple conversion

Ehab Saleh

Hi, I am new to C#.. I want to convert a byte or int to string or text. I have a byte with value 130, I just want to show it in a textBox or a label. If I try to do it directly, like: txtDataReceived.Text = myDataByte; then I get the obvious error: (Cannot implicitly convert type 'byte' to 'string') I thought it will be very simple.. any idea how to sort it out. Thanks

Cheers mate,, I get error normally in trying those methods,, Anyways,, I sorted it out in a funny way,, I just did: myChar = "" + myInt; So the complier took the "" which is just an empty char and added the integer into it. Thanks again anyway

Hi,

Use .ToString() method on the byte variable (or) Convert.ToString(byte variable)
